Installation of the hard disk drive

Before installing the hard disk drives, turn off the power of the recorder first. When replacing the hard disk drives, the procedures will be same as those of installation. When installing or replacing the hard disk drives for playback use only (hard disk drives that
are formerly used for recording), perform the link process.
Important:

• Firstly, turn off the power of the recorder.
• To discharge your own static electricity, touch a metal part such as a work desk with your hand before starting work.
• HDD is a precision device. Handle carefully so as not to give strong impacts.
• When handling the HDD, hold it by the side. Make sure not to touch the label surface or the board surface of the HDD.

Note:

• Hard disk drives are locally procured. Contact your dealer for purchasing, installing, and replacing the hard disk drives.

Install the hard disk drive

Step 1
Unplug the DC plug of the AC power adapter from the DC jack of the recorder.
Step 2
Remove the two screws on the left and right sides of the main unit, remove the three screws on the back, and then remove the top cover. Step 3
Clip the top of the hook on the HDD HOLDER TOP with your finger and thumb. Push inward with your thumb to release the hook, and open the HDD HOLDER TOP. Step 4
Remove the AIR CAP that protects the cable connector.
Step 5
Tilt the HDD at an angle and insert the cable connected to the board into the HDD.        Step 6
Make sure that the cable passes through the HDD HOLDER BASE slot so that they do not come apart, and place the HDD with the cable plugged in on the HDD HOLDER BASE. If the cable is not threaded through the slot, pass it through before placing the HDD.
Step 7
Pass the hook of the HDD HOLDER TOP through the inside of the HDD HOLDER BASE. Push in the arrow on the HDD HOLDER TOP, close the HDD HOLDER TOP, and then fix HDD. Step 8
Install the top cover as before, and tighten the two screws  on the left and right sides of the main unit, and the three screws on the back to secure it.
Step 9
After installation, format the HDD.
Refer to “HDD management” of Operating Instructions (PDF).

(When replacing the hard disk drives)
When replacing a hard disk drive with another one, it is necessary to perform the removal process. In this case, do the following.

Step 1
Perform the removal process of the hard disk drive. (☞ Operating Instructions (PDF))
Step 2
Turn off the power of the recorder. ( ☞ Page 24)
Step 3
Remove the existing HDD and install a new HDD by referring to the above procedures.
Step 4
Turn on the power of the recorder. ( ☞ Page 23)
→ Then, format the new HDD.
When the formatting is completed, the hard disk drive will become operable.
When the hard disk drive is formerly used for recording, perform the link process ( ☞ Operating Instructions (PDF)) on the “HDD management” page.
The status of hard disk drive can be checked on the setup menu – the “Maintenance” page – the “HDD information” tab. (☞ Operating Instructions (PDF))
